Chocolate lovers are huge in number and so are the chocolate recipes. Being a chocolate lover, I keep trying chocolate recipes and Dark chocolate Madeleines are one of my favorites. When something is yummy, it has to turn out to be your favorite right? These shell shaped sponge cakes are absolutely appetizing!

You won’t believe me if I say I had to bake Dark Chocolate Madeleines for my impeccable love for the molds. As your experience grows in baking, it becomes a hobby to collect the various types of molds. It not only enhances your baking skills, but good for photography as well. Oh well, you all know my passion towards food styling and photography.

Let us now Dig into the history of Madeleines. It was born in France in a royal family. In 1755, Madeleine Palmier prepared this unique bake for Louis XV, son-in-law of duke and he was very impressed by this. Soon his wife introduced it to the royal court and it gained popularity in no time. If you go bakery hopping in France, you can find it almost everywhere and people over there are head over heels for this beauty.

  1. Those madeleines surely look so well done. I couldn’t try these as it has so many eggs in it, I have been eyeing the ones made with Aquafaba..lets see maybe someday!

    I wouldn’t be lying if I say madeleines was on my to-do for this Bakeathon, but then my sweet list got filled so fast that I had to push it off back to my long pending list. Chocolate is bae for me and I would gorge on these with a cup of hot black coffee… delicious!
